Indonesia’s Indomarco Prismatama (Indomaret) and Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (Alfamart) have been ranked among the top 50 fastest-growing retailers, alongside the Philippines’ SM Investments Corporation and Vietnam’s Mobile World Investment Corporation. According to Deloitte's "Global Powers of Retailing 2021" report, these companies belong to the three categories of convenience/forecourt store, hypermarket/supercentre/superstore, and electronic speciality.
Globally, Indomaret (183rd) and Alfamart (206th) have been ranked among the top 250 retailers, along with SM Investments Corporation (154th), Mobile World Investment Corporation (235th), and Thailand’s CP ALL (58th) and Central Retail Corporation Public Company (176th)
This result is in line with Deloitte's research which also showed that the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a shift in consumption habits as consumers adapt to new ways of living and working. As consumers spend more time at home, they are increasing their expenditure on self-prepared meals, and investing in better connectivity and smart appliances to more effectively work or study from home.
